Katy Perry released her first single, "Bandaids," on November 6, after news broke this summer that her engagement to Orlando Bloom had ended. The song's music video features the singer in a family situation, while symbolically alluding to the end of their relationship.
In the video, Katy is washing dishes and drops an object that looks like an engagement ring into the drain. As she tries to pull the ring out, she alludes to a breakup in the song's lyrics.
"With my hand on my heart, I promise I tried. I left no stone unturned. It's not what you did, it's what you didn't do. You were there, but you weren't. I'm used to you leaving me. There's no point in trying to send me flowers now. I tell myself you'll change, you won't change. Band-aid on a broken heart," Katy sings.

The visuals of the video follow a painful theme, showing Katy injuring her hand in a garbage dump and falling from a tree.
Katy, who has a five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, with Orlando, sings at the end that she regrets nothing: "If I had to do it all over again, I would do it again."
The public learned of Katy and Orlando's relationship in January 2016, after they were spotted together at several events after the Golden Globe Awards. The couple briefly broke up in March 2017, but have been back together since February 2018.
Perry and Bloom got engaged on Valentine's Day 2019, and a year later Katy announced she was pregnant with their first child. Daughter Daisy Dove was born in August 2020.
The news of the engagement break came in June of this year, following reports of tensions in the relationship.
"They are spending more and more time apart. They have drifted apart and are no longer living the same lives," a source told Us Weekly. /Telegraph/
